Asus ROG 2026 Repair and Data Recovery
Asus released three ROG models in 2026: GX651, GU405 and GU606. Five earlier models kept their numbers and changed inside. We repair them at component level and recover data from them, in London or by insured courier from anywhere in the UK.
ROG models released in 2026
The model number is on the label underneath the laptop, after the word MODEL. The letters that follow it, such as GA402RJ, identify the exact version.
| Model | Number | Screen | Processor |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROG Zephyrus Duo | GX651 | 16-inch OLED | Intel Core Ultra 9 386H + RTX 5070 Ti / RTX 5090 |
| ROG Zephyrus G14 | GU405 | 14-inch OLED | Intel Core Ultra 9 386H + RTX 5060 to RTX 5080 |
| ROG Zephyrus G16 | GU606 | 16-inch OLED | Intel Core Ultra 9 386H + RTX 5060 to RTX 5090 |
Earlier models updated in 2026
These kept the model number they launched with. The parts inside changed, so the full model number on the label matters when we order parts.

|---|---|---|
| ROG Zephyrus G14 | GA403 | AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 (the AMD version of the G14) |
| ROG Strix G16 | G615 | Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and RTX 50 graphics |

Repairs we carry out on 2026 ROG laptops
- Overheating, fan and thermal paste service
- Graphics chip and motherboard repair
- Screen replacement, including high refresh rate panels
- Charging and battery faults
- Keyboard and RGB lighting faults
- SSD upgrades and data recovery
Where memory, storage or charging parts are soldered to the board, a fault there is a board-level repair, not a part swap. That is the work we do. See every year on the ROG page.
Data recovery from a 2026 ROG
When one of these laptops will not start, the files are usually still there. ROG laptops use M.2 NVMe SSDs, and many have two or three slots. Some Strix Scar and Zephyrus models leave the factory with two SSDs striped in RAID 0, which splits every file across both drives. With those we need both SSDs to recover anything.
Windows 11 switches on device encryption on many of these laptops without asking. If the drive is encrypted we need the BitLocker recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.

Questions
Do you repair 2026 ROG laptops outside London?
Yes. We collect by insured courier from anywhere in the UK and send the laptop back the same way.
My ROG is not in the 2026 list. Can you repair it?
Almost certainly. The tables cover the models we see most. Call 020 7394 2521 with the model number from the label underneath.
Can you recover my files if the laptop will not turn on?
In most cases, yes. The SSDs in a ROG laptop can be removed and read directly. If it has two SSDs in RAID 0, we need both. The first look is free.
